Short Book Review-Silent Warrior

An exciting,
emotionally charged prequel to "The Dragon Kings" trilogy, featuring
warriors fighting for their lives in violent Cage matches to guarantee
their clans' survival.

A silent woman ashamed of her
criminal background becomes a Cage warrior to seek redemption. An
unrepentant fortune hunter chooses combat over death to appease a mafia
family. Although rivals in battle, they find common ground when seeking
their clan's stolen idol, but for vastly different reasons. Neither one
suspects that love will begin when he becomes the first man in five
years to hear her speak.

Short Review
Silent Warrior is the first installment in the series, its a short story, only about 80 pages or so, and introduces us into this world that Lindsey Piper has created. Now I have heard good things about this series, and about "Silent Warrior." So I was really excited to read it. It begins with the couple, fighting and pretty roughly too. I will warn you it is a bit brutal at times, and then they get into bed together, and then the romance begins LOL. The first half I was thinking, is there going to be any focus on their relationship or is it just fighting and sex? It is a bit crude especially in the beginning. I think I had a love/hate relationship with this story. I started out not liking it at all, but felt it was 80 pages, so give it a shot. Then about halfway, I felt like it started to get good, and in the way I like it. The ending was a bit rushed, and it almost felt like there wasn't much of one, but with a novella you can't be too picky, but you know that it will be a short story and won't be as satisfying as the full fledged novel. I am curious about Caged Warrior and plan on reading it soon, but I do hope that it will have more focus on the love story than Silent Warrior was. An Intense and suspense packed filled story that will put your teeth on edge.

My Grading System

5 Blossoms- Excellent well written story, that keeps you entertained and turning the pages as fast as you can read them. Definitely a keeper and a re-read!!!

4 Blossoms- A Genuine read, with a strong story line, and considerable description of the characters to go along with it. Not a favorite, but a story not to regret reading.

3 Blossoms- A standard written story, with average description of characters and scenes of events. Nothing to distinct or memorable, but a pleasant read. But there is still the question in one's mind of "Shouldn't there be something more?"

2 Blossoms- A poor written plot and characters. Nothing much in the story seems to entice the reader for me, apart from a few scenes. There is a lot to be desires in this one!

1 Blossom- The reader has to force themselves to get through the whole book. Its a chore rather than a pleasure. Poor plot, poor described characters and nothing to really captivate the readers attention.

Heat Ratings

Simmering -Kissing, Mild Touches, Emotional more than Physical

Warm-Moderate Sexual Tension-Emotional still more focused but only a few love scenes that aren't too explicit.

Steamy -More explicit love scenes, more frequent, and could fog up the windows.

Blazing-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Not as much focus on the emotional side of the relationship.
